Chapter 484 Brandon Hurst (The Metal Faction)

Metal Element Faction,

A warrior with white long hair is listening to the recent events from the mouth of his subordinates.

"What?"

"Someone new joined the special element faction when I was in retreat," he muttered to himself.

His subordinates in front of him nodded their heads.

The warrior with white long hair is none other than the top warrior of the metallic faction. Unlike Tyler Lane who was ranked 5th in his faction.

His standing is way better. He is ranked 3rd in the metallic faction in Elite Level Section. His name is Brandon Hurst.

He stands 6ft tall in height. Apart from distinct white long hair. He has a well-built body. A faint silver texture can be seen over his fair skin. It is the result of his body cultivation technique.

His subordinates didn't stop but continued to share the news. When Brandon heard about Tyler Lane's defeat.

"Ha...Ha...Ha...," He burst into joyful laughter.

"To think that moron was defeated."

"The face of flame faction [email protected] must have been burnt," He said with a wide grin on his face.

The attitude and behavior of Flame faction members were well-known throughout the academy.

Brandon felt he had missed the great opportunity to witness their embarrassment.

"So now what are they up to?" He asked his subordinates. The Flame faction has many warriors. They don't usually take the defeat lightly.

"Boss, right now top warriors are in retreat except you and Tyler. So now everyone is waiting for them to end their retreat," One of his subordinates said.

Hearing that, Brandon held up his chin in contemplation. Unlike Tyler, he is not a blockhead.

"So it's true that the person named Zack Lockwood is only an Initial Stage Elite Warrior."

"Not a mid-level elite?" He asked back.

His subordinate nodded his head and affirmed by saying, "Boss, the information was confirmed by all factions. Even Vice-dean himself said Zack was "Initial Stage Elite Warrior."

A quick gleam flashes in Bradon's eyes. "Fighting across two small realms is not an easy task," He muttered to himself.

He is already aware of the mood of the people around him. They want him to defeat the warrior named Zack and raise the fame of the metallic faction.

But if he does that there is a slight possibility for top warriors to challenge him in the future. So he is quite cautious in issuing the challenge.

After talking with his subordinates he sends them back.

Beep!

Shortly after, his watch lit up with a notification. Seeing the contact name. His expression changes for a moment. He opened the message to read it.

Right after he raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Faction Head wants to meet me," He mumbled under his breath.

The faction head won't call him unless it's necessary. He suspects it has the least to do with his return. Then pushing down these thoughts, he got up from the seat.

He decided to meet the faction head right away.

A few minutes later,

The Metallic Faction Office,

A person wearing a metal mask is working behind the desk. He is the head of the faction. His name is Marcus Lin. He was dressed in a plain white shirt and black pants.

He has black hair and eyes. But no emotions can be seen from those eyes.

Suddenly his gaze shifted to the monitor screen. Where he saw Brandon coming to his room.

Creak!

Shortly after, the person entered. Brandon nervously stood in front of him. Seeing that Marcus Lin collected his thoughts.

"Brandon, take your seat," Marcus said in a calm tone.

But it rang like thunder in Brandon's ears. A cold sweat appears on his forehead. The next moment, he took the seat and waited for the head to speak.

Marcus Lin nodded his head and said, "You must be wondering why I called you here?"

Before Brandon could reply.

Marcus added further, "I want you to fight against Zack Lockwood."

Brandon was confused for a moment. At first, he thought he had heard it wrong. But in a few seconds, he realized it was true.

The faction head is asking him to fight the same person. For a second he felt unreal.

"Faction Head?" Brandon showed hesitation.

Marcus Lin quickly caught the expression. He asked, "What's wrong?"

"Do you have any problem fighting against him?"

Brandon replied, "I just want to wait for a few more days before making a decision."

"Ha...Ha...Ha...and why is that?" Marcus felt amused by Brandon's words. Certainly, something had happened after his retreat.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have shown hesitation. Anyways, the instruction came from the dean. Even he can't refute it.

So looking into Brandon's eyes. Marcus said, "I don't know what you will do. But I want to see your fight against Zack Lockwood within three days."

"You can go now?" He added.

Brandon cursed in his heart. Since it's an order he can't deny it. Helplessly, he got up from his seat and walked out of the room.

Walking out, Brandon couldn't help but feel irritated. Before coming here he had made up his mind not to antagonize other top warriors.

Now the situation has become something different. Either Zack will win or he will become his stepping stone.

"Faction Head gave me three days. What to do with three days?" He muttered to himself.

His appearance immediately attracted attention. Ignoring everyone, he returned to his faction area.

...

(From MC's Perspective)

The following day,

I got up as usual and started to do my morning routine.

Several minutes later,

I entered the training room for cultivation. I sat cross-legged and started practicing the lightning cultivation techniques.

When I ran the cultivation technique. I didn't feel the presence of lightning energy from the surroundings. It would take some time to absorb the energy.

After a few minutes, I absorbed the trickle of energy and started to guide the energy according to the cultivation method.

After circulation, the energy stored inside my dantian.

Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.

Time passed in a blink of an eye,

Two hours later, I opened my eyes. But my lightning essence was only half filled. It was not because of today's cultivation. But for the past few days, I have been saving the lightning essence.

The half reserve was the result of that saving.
